Default You have a middle pocket pair...

...66-99 in the big blind. There's a raise from UTG--MP1 suggesting a premium hand. It's folded around to you:

If the player is a TAG, do you fold, call or re-raise?

If the player is a Loose-Passive do you fold, call or rr?

(I'm omiting rocks and LAGs, since a respective desicion is pretty much straightforward.)

So you decide to play (the SB folds) and the flop comes rags. What is your line against the TAG and what is your line against LPP? Does your action change depending on the specific pocket pair you hold?

How about a flop that contains a King? Queen? Or Jack? What's your action now?

The turn produces one of the above facecards. Now what do you do?

How does your line change if the SB decides to play? Does it change at all?

Looking forward to some answers.

If its a tag I call and reevaluate after the flop, probably putting some pressure on him on a low flop

A lag I call and let him bet into me, call one, checkraise a favorable board on the turn

A loose passive I 3 bet and keep betting until he raises

A high flop against a tag you can checkraise and fold to a 3bet or go bet/call and then bet/fold on the turn

Against a lag you should bet until he raises or until the board gets to the point where even a lag has a hard time raising his hand

Loose passive I bet and fold to a raise, maybe fire again on a favorable turn, and check/call the river
